Chapter 402: Challenging Valencia

Valencia's starting lineup is, goalkeeper Canizares, four defenders, Angeloma, Pellegrino, Djukic and Bujochren, four midfielders, Baraja, Albelda, Kirigonzález and Angullo, forwards Carlou and Juan. Sanchez.

Inter starting line-up, goalkeeper Frei, four defenders, Thuram, Materazzi, Córdoba and Zanetti, midfielders, Emerson, Di Biagio, Seedorf and Jugovic, forwards Hakansuk and Chiesa.

Cooper and Vincent are both people who like to use 442, and it was the same today, both teams used 442, and they both used 442 at the back.

It's the same today, the two teams are almost a similar lineup, two backs, two wing-backs, one high and one fast forward line, this is the same place for the two teams, the difference, except for the staffing, there is really nothing.

So after the opening, the two teams are like you take a step in a game of chess and I follow, both teams are playing a board on the field, and the players in each position are also doing their own duties, and they dare not cross the thunder pool half a step.

This is Fan Shang following Cooper, before Fan Shang actually thought about using offense to suppress Valencia, but Fan Shang remembered Cooper's stinky face at the draw ceremony, this time Fan Shang decided to hit him, then the best way is to use his own way to defeat himself.

So there is what it looks like on the field now, which can be described in four words, that is, step by step. Everything is so logical, but the scene is so bland.

Roughly the goalkeeper passes to the defender, the defender passes to the midfielder, if there is an opportunity to divide the midfield, the midfielder will divide it, and if there is no opportunity, then pass directly to the striker, and then hand it over to the opposing defender, although there is the other side and the same process, so that the cycle is carried out several rounds.

Even like this, Ke Po didn't want to change, he just looked at the field coldly, still putting on his stinky face. Fan Shang is similar, looking at the field carelessly, although the situation is dull, but fortunately, there is no threat to the goal.

However, this is not what Vincent wants, he is waiting for his chance, and although he does not know what Cooper thinks, from the previous study of Valencia's footage, they still rely on set-pieces and two wide crosses to score most of their goals.

However, for now, Inter's two strong full-backs have made many teams with wings on both wings go straight to the fire when facing Inter, and Roma is a good example.

Valencia were another casualty today, as they found themselves in the same awkward situation as Roma before them, unable to open up their two strong flanks and lacking the ability to attack in the middle.

Vincent seemed to see a repeat of the game against Roma, and despite the hard work of their two wing-backs, Kirigonzalez and Angullo, it was difficult to break through, with Thuram and Zanetti being the two big gates, keeping all attacks on the flanks out of the danger zone.

Fan Shang felt that although the money spent on Thuram was quite expensive, it was really worth it, and he raised the attack and defense of Inter Milan's wings to a higher level, and now Inter Milan's two wings are absolutely world-class.

As the game continued, Valencia continued their struggles, with Kiri Gonzalez and Angulo being exactly like Roma's Cafu and Candela, constantly overdrawing themselves in the hope of creating some chances for their team's forward line.

However, despite the excellent defence on both wings, it was not enough to keep Valencia from crossing, and thanks to the tireless efforts of Kirigonzalez and Angullo, they managed to complete some crosses.

But today's Materazzi is staring at Kalou, and every time the ball comes over, the two have to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and then they also interfere with each other's jumps, which makes Karui simply unable to compete for the header.

And Valencia's other striker, Juan Sanchez, is only 172cm tall, so it is impossible to let him fight for the header.

Inter Milan must not let Valencia be so arrogant, after welcoming several Valencia Valencia offensives, Fan Shang couldn't hold back, and with a big wave of his hand, Inter Milan began to attack on all fronts.

Valencia's central defense is really tough, and the two midfielders, Baraja and Albelda, are like two mad dogs, and Valencia runs frantically in front of the penalty area to intercept.

Inter only tried once, Seedorf was caught between two and the referee had not yet awarded two fouls.

Just this time to test Fan Shang to understand the defensive intensity of the two of them, it is better to avoid the edge temporarily, so Fan Shang made a gesture to the players on the field, so that the attack should be launched from the two wings as much as possible, but in order not to let the two backs go to the side to disturb Inter Milan's attack, so Emerson and Di Biagio even if they do not participate in the attack, they have to overwhelm Valencia's penalty area every time to deter.

Inter Milan's wing attack is stronger than Valencia, compared to Valencia's attack, most of them only rely on full-backs, and the full-backs press on the assists are not much, Inter Milan is different, the two fullbacks not only give the opponent a headache in defense, but also in the offensive strategy is also not relaxed, always can give support to the two full-backs, either to open the defense or to set the edge to create a chance to cross.

In the 26th minute, Jugovic passed to Thuram, who faced French fellow Angloma and hit the bottom line without relenting, and then completed the cross.

Hakansuk and Chiesa in the middle cleverly switched positions, allowing Haksuk to face the slightly lower Djukic, while Chiesa used his not strong body to withstand the tall Pellegrino.

It was a surprise to Valencia's two centre-backs, and Bujokren, who was a good full-back but played at full-back today, wanted to come back to help Djukic, but the distance was not close.

So Hakansuk jumped up in front of Djukic unscrupulously, and then ignored the small movements behind Djukic and made a headbutt with full force.

Canizares is already ready for the battle, his goal-line skills are quite solid, and judging from Hakansuk's power, it should be a line that flies to the left and right feet.

But just as Canizares was about to move, he suddenly realized that he didn't know if he had judged something wrong, or if Hakansuk had hit the header of the force, and the ball did not go to the upper right corner, nor did it fly to the upper left corner.
